The reason why most women my age couldn't care less if Bill Clinton goes down with the ship is that we were teens & young women when the Anita Hill and Monica Lewinsky scandals happened. It's rotten to the core. All the way down. Your "lost" era is not ours.

the white house is trying to destabilize the ACA markets by wrecking the risk pools. the end result is vulnerable people die

On World Day of the Poor, Pope lunches with 1,300 people living in poverty. Prior to lunch, Leo told the crowd: "With great joy we gather this afternoon for this lunch, on this Day that was so desired by our greatly beloved, my predecessor, Pope Francis. A big round of applause for Pope Francis.”

I wanted to share probably the most important sermon I’ve given and it’s while I’m being arrested. It’s torture pure and simple what happens at #Broadview. I’m ok, though I was thrown to the ground and choked with my pectoral cross. A review of the video shows I was peaceful - did I deserve this?

Respect Alice Wong’s call here: “When I am in public spaces and see most people unmasked either because they think the virus is a hoax, that masking is virtue signaling & a sign of weakness, aren't thinking about it, or that they simply don’t care, I feel like an expendable burden not worth saving.”

Listen to this Border Patrol agent cry about how he's going to be DOXXED after being arrested for drunkenly barging into a woman's restroom with a loaded gun, demanding a date from the woman inside, and then punching the arresting officers.

Reminder: current Chief Justice John Roberts was one of the WH lawyers in Bush II writing memoranda that authorized exercise of executive powers in war on terrorism. If any case makes it way to SCOTUS to challenge these claims, the chief justice has already signaled his vote for the WH

This is the most glamorous opening to an article about a white supremacist flattering journalist who lied to her readers and editors while having an affair with narcissistic crank who eats roadkill, swims in sewer water, will cause children to die, and is 50 years her senior that I've ever read.

NEW: Before the recent Epstein disclosures, Larry Summers was poised to lead the economic policy plank for the Democrats' "Project 2029" effort at the Center for American Progress. He signed off on a housing policy paper CAP was prepping for next week. prospect.org/2025/11/14/e...

OK, I listened to the last 20 minutes of the episode (the whole section about the tattoo). Here's what i heard: 1/

This week is further proof that we can't rely on our institutions to protect our rights against rising authoritarianism. The legal community and anyone who believes in democracy must act. JOIN The #LawyersMarch for Democracy 🗓 Nov. 15 | 1:00 PM 📍 Supreme Court 👉 actionnetwork.org/events/lawye...

This is cool. COURIER has created a searchable database with all 20,000 of the files just released from Epstein’s estate. Trump's name appears in them more than anyone else, in 1,628 documents. couriernewsroom.com/news/we-crea...

Re: Epstein’s emails

There is no 'congrats' loud or enthusiastic enough for the Penn State grad students, who didn't just win their union today, but did it by an utterly absurd 90 point margin. I'm so proud and happy for them!!!!!

Mini-Nate with the moral clarity that pedophilia is a horserace

"This could take down Democrats, too." I know. And I frankly wouldn't give even an itty bitty damn if it implicated every Democratic man in Congress, every Democratic hopeful for 2028 and every Democrat who has even thought about running for office. Down with the sex predators, wherever they are.

Seems like reporters who cover #SCOTUS should be asking this question. No?

Jeffrey Epstein advised Steve Bannon that the lawyers representing Brett Kavanaugh in his confirmation hearing should accuse Christine Blasey Ford of being on medications that cause false memories or memory loss.

Growing list of reasons Trump should step down: - Cover up of his involvement in notorious sex trafficking ring - Unprecedented corruption, self enrichment - Tariffs are historic, unprecedented abuse of power - Illegal desecration of most important global symbol of American democracy

Hey so it turns out we could have dodged this fascist takeover if a dirtbag and his journo came forward with what they knew but they talked it over and decided meh, screw it.

Our leading news organizations turned a cache of ultimately-innocuous emails into a scandal-coded weeklong series of front page stories leading into the 2016 election. If they do not cover the "emails from notorious pedophile implication the President" emails with the same fervor, it's curious!

Tucked into a spending bill that is part of the deal to end the government shutdown is a provision that would allow GOP senators to personally sue the federal government for as much as $500K over Special Counsel Jack Smith’s lawful search of their phone records. talkingpointsmemo.com/morning-memo...

Some libraries are open and we get pushback for ‘not supporting veterans.’ Reminder that 20% of homeless males are veterans, 32% are in suburbs. Idaho is 50th in US for broadband. Closing a building that provides services doesn’t honor veterans, it harms them. Being open is honoring this day.

They got the HR guy to sign off on the subpoenas because the line prosecutors refused.

Pretty much all affordability discourse could benefit from just posting this chart. If you're in the better off America, all the luxury goods you want in excess are for the most part much cheaper. If you're in the poorer America, most of the shit you need to live/grow is more expensive.

now they've done it www.wsj.com/world/europe...

Tell me you don’t understand risk pools without telling me you don’t understand risk pools

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it. Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.

This is not a deal — it's an empty promise. Trump and his Republican Congress are making healthcare more expensive for the middle class and ending it for working families. Time for Democrats to stand tall for affordable healthcare. www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

I didn’t spend 20 years saving lives to sit back in Congress while Republicans decimate our healthcare system. The deal being negotiated in the Senate to reopen the government does nothing to lower healthcare costs for a single Oregonian.

He's as popular as plague, is about to have his signature policy spiked by his hand-chosen SCOTUS, just had his ass handed to him at the polls because people really hate everything this dude is doing and...at least a handful of Dem sens seem to think that caving for nothing is smart politics

Wait, are you fucking serious? I didn't think this whole fiasco could get much dumber.

However bad you think Schumer is, he is worse prospect.org/2025/11/08/w...

Every disaffected Dem & swing focus group we do begins with people asking what's real. They hear, at times, this is authoritarian takeover threatening lives & livelihoods. But perceive most "leaders" not acting as if this were so.

Following up on this. This remains a ‘cave is minutes or hours away’ situation. If you want to impact how this plays out you need to contact senators literally now. I want to add additional points of context. What I’m relaying is what I’ve picked up from highly reliable sources.

I don't know what the Senate is going to do. But if they do in fact fold in exchange for nothing, they will be living up to past performance. To expect the Senate to carry out the will of the American people is to misunderstand why it was created in the first place.

CALL: @schumer.senate.gov @booker.senate.gov @cortezmasto.senate.gov @durbin.senate.gov @fetterman.senate.gov @kirstengillibrand.bsky.social @hassan.senate.gov @senangusking.bsky.social @ossoff.senate.gov @shaheen.senate.gov @markwarner.bsky.social 202-224-3121 TELL THEM NOT TO FOLD.

How can one tell that @schumer.senate.gov’s fingerprints are all over another surrender to Trump/Republcians? The 2 key Sen Dems driving this deal - Masto and Peters - are former DSCC chairs. So don’t fall for it if Sen Leaders take show vote against it. They all own the #SchumerSurrender

Will you fight

Keep hearing @cortezmasto.senate.gov is leader of Senate Dem's Cave caucus. She's voted with Rs throughout. Why? Eked out a close win in 2022 because of hard work of Culinary & other NV activists Other biggest accomplishment before this was getting Emil Bove his 3rd Circuit seat

Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.

Hard not to feel like jerking people around on something as vital as whether they get to eat is the point
